What the mounted story proves

  1. 01

    KeyboardHelp

    Representative 120×40 terminal state.

  2. 02

    Passive paint

  3. 03

    Evidence stays explicit

    5 covered · 8 partial · 4 missing axes.

03 · Implement

Advanced guidance

Ownership boundary

TermRock owns reusable terminal rendering and interaction state. The host owns domain data, policy, persistence, authorization, and side effects.

Evidence status

5 covered, 8 partial, and 4 missing contract axes. Missing evidence is not a behavior claim.
